Summary:
The East Whittier City Elementary District is home to three middle schools: Granada Middle, East Whittier Middle, and Hillview Middle. These schools serve students in grades 6-8 and provide a range of educational opportunities within the East Whittier City Elementary district.
Among the three middle schools, Granada Middle stands out as the top performer, ranking 441 out of 2,788 California middle schools and consistently maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperforms the district and state averages in Smarter Balanced Assessments for both English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics across all grade levels. In contrast, Hillview Middle lags behind the other two schools, with lower proficiency rates in both subject areas.
The data also reveals disparities in student demographics and socioeconomic factors among the three schools. Granada Middle has a more diverse student population, with a lower percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients compared to the other two schools. This suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a role in the observed differences in academic performance, and the district may need to address these inequities to ensure all students have access to quality education.
